Dearest Ted,

I had an amazing time with you the other night, you really are like something pulled out of one of those fairy tale stories muggles read. You're my Prince Charming, and I think I am falling in love with you.

I told you Narcissa wasn't like Bella, it was funny though because she came barging in my room and demanded to know everything I knew about you. She's such a mother hen sometimes, even though she is a year younger than I am. She always thinks the best of people, you know? Even when they don't deserve it.

Do you really think your mother would let me move in with you? I'm afraid to tell my mother and father about the baby, they will make me have an abortion and while it would make a lot of things so much better right now, she doesn't deserve that.

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." Alice Walker said that, see I know some Muggle people. But she's right, you know? I know I have the power to say no to them, I just need somewhere to go when they kick me out.

To be honest, I wish the baby was yours, it would be so much easier. Though maybe your mother wouldn't be keen on letting me stay with you then, if she knew it was yours. Or maybe she would be even keener, I don't know. All I know is I'm going to start showing any day now, and my parents are going to figure it out, and I'm scared.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, didn't I? I did a gender spell, and she's a girl. I think I'm going to call her Lyra, the only thing I like about my family is the tradition we have about naming our children after constellations and stars. Lyra was a harp or something like that in Greek Mythology, so at least I'm not naming her after someone who got sacrificed by their father to a sea monster. Funnily enough, I happen to be just like the Andromeda in Greek Mythology, except I wasn't sacrificed to a sea monster, I was sacrificed to Lucius Malfoy. Somehow I would rather the sea monster.

But really, what do you think of the name Lyra? I know we're only taking our relationship one day at a time, and like I said you're free to change your mind and leave at any time, but I don't want you to hate her name if you're going to be in her life. I really don't understand you, Ted a normal guy would run for the hill and never come back if they knew the girl they liked was pregnant with another man's child. Like I said before, you really are my Prince Charming.

Okay, time to talk about something not family or baby related. I feel like all my letters are about the baby or my family now a days. What is your patronus? Mine is a horse, a book I found in our library tells me that the horse patronus represents coping under difficult circumstances, love, and loyalty. I guess that fits my current situation really well, so I guess it's the right patronus for me. What do you think? Are you into all of that stuff? Maybe I can sneak the book out on our next date and we can look up your patronus.

Do you want to know a secret? There is only one memory that works for me to form a patronus ever since our first date, and that's when you kissed me. I think it's easily the happiest moment in my life right now.

Yours,

Dromeda.
